Homelessness Australia hosts Homelessness Week annually to build community support and government commitment to end homelessness.
During the week homelessness services and community groups raise awareness of the impact of homelessness, and the solutions needed to end homelessness, and advocate for change via national and local community events, media and social media activities.
In 2024, Homelessness Week 2024 will be held from Monday August 5 to Sunday August 11.
The theme for Homelessness Week 2024 is “Homelessness Action Now”.

Council to Homeless Persons has released A plan to end homelessness in Victoria, the Victorian homelessness election platform for 2022.
It calls on the next Victorian Government to implement 27 changes that, together, would help to end homelessness. In the lead up to the Victorian state election, we’re encouraging all parties to commit to the platform’s recommendations.
Tenants Victoria’s updated Family Violence Protection Tenancy Kit for community workers is out now. The completely revised kit incorporates the strengthened measures for those affected by family violence in amendments to the Residential Tenancies Act 1997. It aims to help people in rental housing know their rights, have a secure home and limit any financial loss.
The plan was developed by government funding provided to the Council to Homeless Persons (CHP) through DHSS and guided by an Executive Advisory Group (EAG), and leaders from across both the SHS and DHHS. The content of the plan reflects the input of consultations held with the SHS and others around the state in late 2017.
